Mo Ostin was born Morris Meyer Ostrofsky in New York; his family was Jewish and had fled Russia during the revolution. He ran Frank Sinatra's Reprise label, then Warner Bros. Records from 1972 to 1994, on a principle rare in the business: the artist decides, and the label's job is to make that possible. Jimi Hendrix, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Prince, R.E.M. and Green Day were signed on that basis. In 1996 he co-founded DreamWorks Records with David Geffen, Lenny Waronker and his son Michael. He entered the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003.
